On 13 June, members of our Data Sharing & Databases working group met in Bordeaux for an in-person meeting to discuss the role of databases in psychedelic research. 🗂️
Discussions focused on how databases organising information on psychedelic research studies can support field-wide overviews across many research domains, including:
🔹 Drug development
🔹 Preclinical behavioural research
🔹 Brain imaging
🔹 Clinical studies
Participants highlighted that an interactive database solution that remains flexible enough to connect insights between research areas can greatly increase information dissemination. At the same time, this flexibility and breadth brings the challenge of retaining the detailed functionality needed within each domain.
A big thank you to all the wonderful people who took part. We look forward to developing these databases for future use across the research community!
